Exploring Voice AI with AWS Polly โ€“ My Hands-On Experience! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I tried:

Typed a sentence โ†’ Got a human-like voice in seconds ๐Ÿ˜

Used both AWS Console and CLI

Played with multiple languages and voice styles (even Tamil, which was awesome ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ)

Saved audio files as MP3 and tested on different platforms

Applied IAM policies for secure access

Explored Neural vs Standard voices for better realism

๐Ÿ’ก Why itโ€™s cool:

Great for building audiobooks, voice assistants, game narration, or even accessibility tools

Supports SSML for customizing speech (like adding pauses, emphasis, etc.)

๐Ÿง  Thinking of combining this with React for a mini web app soon โ€“ something like a voice generator or AI narrator app. Stay tuned!
